FAQs
What fruits mix well with cherries?
While not necessarily the fruit combination you might think of first, adding frozen bananas to any smoothie helps to give it a rich and creamy consistency. Plus, the flavor of the bananas often gets neutralized by the other ingredients. Cherries also pair well with other stone fruits, like peaches and nectarines. They also have a natural affinity for summer berries, such as strawberries and blueberries. And don’t discount the potential of pairing them with tropical flavors like pineapple, mango, and coconut.
What other ingredients pair well with cherries?
Because cherries do have an intense and concentrated flavor, they stand up to a lot of different ingredients, as well. Chocolate, vanilla, and almond all perfectly complement the fruit. The sweetness of honey and the tangy flavor of yogurt or cream cheese are also a great balance. So these are often found in many cherry smoothie recipes. And mint can contribute a little burst of freshness.
